william shatner, rocket man
| I came across this video in the washingtonpost.com Celebritology blog in an entry titled, For Bill Shatner, Phasers Set to Roast. It's definitely something!! Shatner is introduced at the 1978 Science Fiction Movie Awards by Bernie Taupin, who composed the song with Elton John, then Shatner does his rendition. (If you're curious, Taupin also wrote the lyrics to "Your Song", "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" and many others for Elton John as well as "We Built This City" for Starship and "These Dreams" for Heart.) In the Family Guy, Stewie Griffin imitates this performance in the episode And The Wiener Is… No doubt I'll be catching the Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner this Sunday at 10pm. They are promoting it as "The Shat hits the fan this Sunday!" | |

What'd you think about the roast? I was less than impressed. I think it started out funny and finished funny (especially Shatner's retorts), but it lacked substance for large stretches in the middle. Sulu's stuff was over the top. Andy Dick was obnoxious for the entirety. I can never figure out why they can't get some decent comedians for these things.
Of course, it was probably better uncensored...
